Dynamic connectivity between wells based on a new grey correlation degree method

To overcome the under injection in water-flooding treatment of low permeability reservoir, this paper introduces the grey correlation degree method to the dynamic connectivity between injection and production wells. First, it is proved that Deng’s model, focusing on the proximity between sequences, does not apply to the dynamic connectivity between injection and production wells. Then, the author built a new correlation degree model which reflects the similarity between sequences, and analysed the properties of the model. The new model can reflect the negative correlation between sequences, and outperforms Deng’s model in the simulation. Then, the results of Deng’s model and the new model were compared based on the parameter sequences of the real injection and production wells. The results show that the results of the new model are consistent with the actual production situation. Compared with Deng’s model, the new model reflect the exact difference and connectivity variation between wells. Copyright © 2018, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l.
